  • if you had a single DD200 to use as a delay for Slowdive sounds what setting would you use? i saw one video you used the dual mode, but i’m just curious because it’s my only delay at the moment ! awesome videos as usual.

  • definitely my favorite video by you guys!! love it sm, it would be amazing to see something like this again, with a lot of pedals engaged

    Reply
  • I really need help, Im wanting to buy my first delay pedal and im not sure which one to start out with? Any ideas?

    Reply
  • I’m thinking about ordering the Boss MD-200 modulation, Walrus Audio Slo and Boss BD-2 pedals for a shoegaze rig! Has anyone tried just these pedals together? I’m thinking that should cover most of my bases but wanted to get some input, thanks y’all ❤️

  • Great video, i wish i hadn't parted with my PS2 after hearing it on this and your other video. I found running a Strymon Big Sky with the Space Echo and an MXR Analog Chorus gets to a nice slowdive sound – depending on which guitar i'm using then it either just needs a clean boost (i use Boss Line selector with the channel gunned or an OCD set with no dirt) or an MXR Distortion + into a RAT will do much the same…

  • holy fuck this is amazing im about to burn through all of my bank account for that kind of sound

  • I know Christian uses a Bigsky as well as a Neunaber Wet just to name a couple.

  • Ok good. I don't feel weird anymore for having only four delays and four overdrives (BD2) on my board…lol.

    Not suggesting these to sound like the band as you already nailed it in the video…but for future experimentation….

    I'd definitely suggest again the Catalinbread EchoRec. You can fine tune its parameters inside with trim pots and select switches. Check out YT. Out of print…well worth the money before they go Klon Centaur prices. Nice dark repeats that vapor nicely sniffs cork with the reverb and plenty of good settings. I want to eventually run it at 18volts isolated input as it's supposedly great headroom like the beaucoup bucks of the Belle Epoch deluxe. We shall see but at 9volts it's already a winner.

    Definitely like the Roland space echo as well. Putting it on my hit list. I am still Kicking myself for not getting an old one used at GC. But I think the newer version you used is more reliable and still sounds way better than say a mxr carbon copy (which imo… isn't).

    My current four delays are:
    Catalinbread Echorec. Boss Terra Echo (always on). Tc Electronic Transition. Keeley Caverns2 (reverb is always on) then
    Run em stereo out to
    Roland JC 120 (C'mon let him get one P)
    And Orange Dark Terror into 4×12 celestions. Six speakers of ridonkulous (sic) & therefore is attenuated as I have neighbors home during Covid as well.

    I run JC120 + JC77 if I want to quadtriphonic to the land of chorus verb vibe fun. Especially if you get both choruses or chorus/vibe in phase…at different speeds…and inputs…
    Hokey Smokey Batman.

    Peace from Detroit…where my basement looks as if a Jules Vern squid made of guitar cables exploded…

  • I've heard some mixed review about the md-200. I have the dd-200 and love it. What do you think about the md-200? Would you recommend the chorus or vibrato settings as opposed to standalone pedals?

    Reply
  • Christian and Rachel used the FX500s
    Neil used a Krog A3 Which is the same rack mount the Edge used for his delays.

    Reply
  • Great demo! How do I put the fuzz pedal before the boss md 200? I can't see the connections well! I don't understand the notice"before and after"!

    Reply
  • "we don't have a RAT or anything similar…" About time that the guys at Walrus send you one of their Iron Horses. Really curious about that pedal in a shoegaze setting. One question regarding the PS-2. I bought one recently, but did Slowdive only used this effect for its delay (and of course the infamous oscillation) or also for the pitch shift settings?

  • This is really cool guys keep up the good work also would be cool if you guys did one for lush.
